Cat eye, winged, or liquid eyeliner

SO, you're in love with the dramatic look liquid eyeliner makes.. but you just can't seem to get it right? Well, I'm not going to lie... I had a hard time with perfecting a look without looking ridiculous when it came to liquid eyeliner. I just couldn't seem to get it perfect like I can with a eye pencil or kohl.. Well I have the perfect solution to make things easier! All you need is a regular eye pencil and the matching color liquid eyeliner (here obviously I chose black for both)

First take your pointer finger and place it at the outer corner of your eye... then pull. This creates a flat lid so it's way easier to get right above your lashes.

 Start with the eye pencil and glide it from your inner eye all the way to where your finger is.. then go over it with the liquid  eyeliner. this will give you that darker, shiny look but it's more perfect looking than a thin line made by just the liquid eyeliner alone!!!

If you want to do your bottom lids as well pull down right below your eye and line the bottom inner lid. POOF magic!


Favorites!!!!

So.. all these self claimed "professional" makeup artists always have these ridiculously expensive makeups that aren't only a pain in the butt to get (who wants to go to the mall after 16 anyways right??).. but there's totally no need to spend 15 dollars on a LIP PENCIL, or 30 DOLLARS for a 1 ounce tube of foundation. (ONE OUNCE.. that's enough for like... not even 2 weeks.. wth?!)


I'm in LOVE LOVE LOVE with Physicians Formula. Not only can you get it at your local CVS or Target.. but this is seriously the BEST makeup I've ever used. I'm so impressed with all the things I've tried so far and I'm now becoming obsessive about trying it all :)

The eye shadow palettes (shimmer strips) that are especially made for certain color eyes.. are absolutely incredible. As I have green eyes, I can't even TELL you how much the "Green eye candy shimmer strips" have made my eyes POP. (here's the webpage to see what colors are included for your specific eye color)

And it doesn't just stop with the eye shadows. Their awesome concealers made to specifically for problem areas are sooooooo perfect.. especially if you suffer from dark circles, age spots, rosacea, acne or even if you just have that one random zit thats driving you crazy on the day of a big event!

The green concealer, like the one seen here, http://www.physiciansformula.com/en-us/productdetail/face/concealers/01305.html

The yellow concealer, like the one seen here,
